I am confused.  Is this 'My Pictures'  directory on CD or is it stuff 
you have moved to hard disk?   If it is on CD, I don't think you
can set the permissions on that directory because you can't write
to the CD.   I don't know why you can't do an ls.  Try doing
an  ls -laF up there before you cd to importedpictures.
